All targets are optimised to provide effective gunnery and missile practice and testing, for both surface-to-air and air-to-air exercises. Depending on customer requirements, a range of targets can be provided, having all been developed for different augmentation, such as radar, laser and infrared. For basic to mid-level training, a sleeve target is a good option – this can be towed by all aircraft in the fleet.

Electronic Warfare

Electronic Warfare, EW, is a key part of the modern battlefield. It can be used in a wide variety of scenarios, and is becoming increasingly complex.
